Estimating your TDEE
The average number of calories you expend per day is called your total daily energy expenditure (TDEE). To estimate it, it's easiest to use a TDEE calculator such as: https://www.freedieting.com/tools/calorie_calculator.htm
Keep in mind this number is only an estimate....

Thank you to everyone who has participated in the older threads. ...

The purpose of this thread is to explain the dietary approach of Discretionary Calorie Allowance (which will now be referred to as DCA). This thread was formally the IIFYM – What does it mean? sticky and has since been edited by the OP with the help of some kind moderators to something more...

Due to recent discussion in THIS THREAD it was decided that there is a real need for a 'Basic principles of Nutrition' sticky. In essence, something that includes:
- Basic concept of calories & macros
- Basic concept of micronutrients & health
- Basic concept of IIFYM & importance of food...

Hierarchy of Importance
When speaking of nutrition for improving body composition or training performance, it's crucial to realize there's an underlying hierarchy of importance. At the top of the hierarchy is total amount of the macronutrients by the end of the day. Distantly below that is the...

Hi All,
I'm a new member here - so I apologise now if you've seen this thousands of times before.. but I really need your expert advice.
Basically, start of 2017 I weighed around 15st, ate unhealthily, did very little to no exercise and was really unhappy. Fast forward to now (December 2017)...

Soy is widely known in health circles as pro-estrogenic and feminizing and men are recommended to avoid it. If that’s actually the case, can anyone explain why serum estrogen levels actually decrease in soy-supplemented groups in studies in both men and women? And why is there an inverse...

I am 17 years old and weigh 180lbs at 22% BF. I am planning to cut so I would like to know how much protein I need to maintain my muscle while losing BF.
Also, is it OK if I eat less protein on my cheat day and just eat excess protein I would miss on my cheat day for the other 6 days?

We had the idea to discuss interesting scientific studies here. Can be nutrition, training, health related or anything relevant.
Please only participate in the discussion if you care about science. If you only care about what works for you (n=1) this is not the thread for it.
If anyone comes...

Should I drink a few protein shakes every day to gain weight? I'm an 18 year old male at about 130-140 pounds. I'd like to start gaining weight to build muscle but my metabolism is way to high to do that without a boost. What is the best protein powder to do this with?

Just curious, they weigh about 1.1kg each..
if i search how much protein in a pound of chicken, it says between 90-110g, so that would equal around 200g protein for the whole pack, but there are 5 chicken breasts in the whole pack
that being said if i search protein in one chicken breast,...

I've read a few articles since I was told about it as I usually have 2 Casein shakes daily for years on end. Are there any real long term studies that can back up this claim?
If anything how would your approach be on this?
I've made a conscious effort to avoid plastics, bottles water the...

Is there any "reliable" information about the whole waiting X amount of time after eating before a workout. there seems to be literally 0 studies on this subject from what i can find, and every source is basing their conclusion on what is essentially "Brosceicne".
some use statements like " oh...

Hi all,
I'm looking for a spot of advice. I'm 18 years old and male. Since my late 16s I suffered from anorexia. Since then I have seen child services and also started seeing adult services. Since the start of my ED I have learnt a lot and feel I have come a long way with the mental and physical...

So… I know working out with an empty stomach is typically associated with cardio (because of the myth of burning more fats doing so, which I’m not sure if true though not the point of this thread).
When it comes to lifting instead, does it matter or would it be detrimental to do so first thing...

So i've been out of the gym for over 2 years, i've completely lost everything I had and i've put on a lot of weight. I had a six pack and a decent chest and now i almost have boobs with a beer belly.

For someone who's been skinny for years on a 2000 calorie or less / day diet, does the digestive system and the body in general need time to adjust to a 3000-4000 calorie diet in terms of being able to digest, absorb and properly use the extra 1000-2000 calories?
I've been on a 3000 calorie...
